Parking Instructions
Parking at Hidden Palms:
Guests have access to convenient on-site driveway parking with plenty of space for vehicles during your stay.
Driving to Public Beaches:
The nearest Gulf beach access is about 0.9 miles away, so we recommend driving rather than walking. Dauphin Island has four public beach areas:
• East End Beach
• Middle Beach
• Bienville Beach
• West End Beach
Parking is paid. Once you pay for parking at one public beach, your pass is valid at all four public beach areas for the rest of the day. This gives you the flexibility to explore the island and move between beaches to find your preferred conditions or a less crowded spot.
